This place is AWESOME! The menu is a bit larger than what you see online. We got this platter where you pick 2 or 3 kebabs, 2 sides, and it also comes with rice and Naan. Everything was great. Had the lamb with the Tikka sauce, paneer, and shrimp. Garam Masala side and the Mac n cheese. I'm assuming they have the Mac and cheese for kids who aren't accustomed to Indian food/spices. I probably wouldn't order the Mac next time because I go for more authentic items. But, my young son was with us, so we got it for him. However, he ate EVERYTHING! Nice little chopped cucumber and tomato salad were part of the platter, I believe. The platter $40 definitely feeds 4 people, and you'll have plenty to take home. Great deal, IMOThe manager, Andy, checked every table to see how guests were enjoying their food and offered customers samples of their sauces to try next time. I can't remember the name of the sauce he brought over to us. It was "a little bit spicier sauce behind the Tikka. It was phenomenal. Loved the tamarind, the curry mayo, and the garlic yogurt.I REALLY, REALLY hope this place takes off because I will definitely be back.

This place was amazing. Very causal restaurant. There a lot of options to choose from. You can pick your protein and your sauces. Amazing great flavors. It came with a a side of naan. There is a sauce bar so I picked a couple that sounded interesting to me.I would love to come again.

This is a nice quick Indian food place if you are in a rush. They are pretty generous with portion sizes here. Quality- the bowl tastes good but I found the sauces they added to be overpowering. It would be better if they didn't drown it in sauces. Chicken is also a bit dry too. Quantity- generous portion sizes for the cost. I'm a fan of this. Atmosphere- nice and clean and open. Service- fairly fast. Only took like 5 mins.

Big space inside with booths.Service can use some improvement. It was a little slow when there was only one more table in the place.Fast food version of food for veg and non veg eater.Mango Lassi- 1.5/5 - too sweat and lacks mango falvour. I tasted more artificialfalvour than mango.Tikka fritter curry - 4/5 - comes with a naan and rice. Naan was warm and good. Tikka Curry was good, and fritter was fresh but needs to be little firm.Vandaloo paneer curry - 3/5 - spicy curry but can improve on flavor They also gave us chillies on saide on our request which was nice.

Naansense in Naperville is definitely worth a visit, especially if you dine in. I recently tried their to-go variety meal, which included shrimp tikka, fries with mac and cheese, cabbage, and basmati rice. While the portion sizes were on the smaller side, the food itself was flavorful and satisfying. I opted to order inside rather than using a delivery app, and the self-service process was straightforward and efficient, with about a 10-minute wait time.The dining area features artist-decorated walls that contribute to a pleasant ambiance, even though it's not fancy. If you're looking for a casual spot with good food, Naansense is a solid choice. Dining in might enhance the experience even more!

I tried Naansense for the first time yesterday - to be honest, it was an average/decent experience - very mid.We arrived and saw the big sign - I thought the name of the restaurant was very clever. Upon entering the restaurant, it was dinner time so it was pretty busy inside- there was a lot of garbage all over the available tables - disappointing that patrons left it behind but more disappointing that the staff didn't clean it up.We cleared our own table and then ordered our food on their touch screen menus. I ordered a Paneer Tikka Curry Bowl (comes with naan), a side of samosas, a spiked mango lassi (RUM), a regular mango lassi, and my friend ordered the Lamb Kebab Curry Bowl and a side of fries with the mango lassis.The food was actually pretty tasty. The paneer pieces in the curry were massive and very filling, the sauce had a lot of flavor but not a lot of spice, it also was not piping hot sadly. The fries and samosas were fresh and crispy, and the naan was just decent. We did not like the cardboard containers for the curry - it's really hard to scoop of the bottom of the curry in cardboard, wish they'd use glass or plastic. The spiked mango lassi was bad I do not recommend it - you will only taste the rum they put in it no mango, the regular mango lassi however was amazing.Overall, I'd give Naansense a 3 out of 5 - it is a chain so don't expect 100% authentic Indian food, I'd compare this like what a Chipotle is to Mexican food - an okay beginner place for someone that has never tried Indian food.

Love to see more Indian food options in the burbs and fresh garlic naan. Naansense is a chain and this spot is located in the same plaza as H Mart and across from Costco.For a quick bite, this is a good option with different kebab platters to choose from. You can do wraps and bowls as well as appetizers. The samosas are spicy and one of my favs. I also really like the curry meals especially the vindaloo. There's also tikka, korma, and madras to choose from. All come with naan and rice.I tried the feast, which supposedly serves 5-6. It comes with 3 kebabs, 3 large sides, 2 curry, 1 large rice, 1 large kachumber, 6 naan, chutneys, pickled onions, hot peppers, and limes. I was disappointed at the portion sizes for the price. The large rice that I got was half sized plastic container (16 oz), which wasn't enough to balance the curry and kebabs. The variety contained in this "group tray" is nice, but I've ordered family trays from other places that are a better value.Naansense is a bit expensive compared to the competition, but dining in is nice and service is relatively fast. You can also see the garlic naan being cooked to order right on the spot.

Indian food is so delicious and the newest location of Naansense has some flavorful Indian street food for you to enjoy!What I tried:The Variety tray: it serves 2-3 people and cones with 2 kebabs, 2 medium sides, 1 curry, 1 medium rice, 1 medium kachumber 3 naan, chutney, pickled onions, hot peppers, and limes all for just $39.99!!! Everything was so savory! I really enjoyed the Chicken Tikka and the curry shrimp. The shrimp were big! The TIKKA MAC N CHEESE surprised me! It is spicy, creamy, cheesy but the spice isn't overwhelming.I paired it with my favorite - a Mango Lassi. Lassi is traditional drink in India that is yogurt based drink with a smoothie consistency; It goes PERFECTLY with the food!Stop by their newest location and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!

Timing is everything... love when you get in and place your order and THEN the dinner crowd starts to roll in. :DEither way the food comes out quick... maybe not "fast food" quick... but you won't be left waiting hungry for long!2 friends and I were just looking for a little something to share so we ordered 2 orders of the samosas (comes with 2 large ones in each order), the korma bowl (comes with rice) with grilled chicken kabob. Comes with a garlic naan bread and so we ordered an extra as well. And to top it off we each ordered a mango lassi. Did I say we just wanted a 'little' to eat?? LolMany sauces to choose from. Since they are self serve I recommend trying a little of each to see which flavor combination you like best. Tip: if you taste something that's a little too spicy, the mango lassi is perfect to cool your mouth down! I'll be back for sure! Bring your friends!
